UTILIZATION

Everything is very simple and super-intuitive, it comes out of a fast trs beautiful sounds and rhythms by turning some knobs ^ ^. I advise all beginners to even work in the subtractive sounds, as the manual is also clear trs.

SOUNDS

The sounds are super fat trsralistes and it&#39;s pure microKORG ^ ^. The effects are effective trs. The expression and the games are excellent keyboard, no aftertouch but we feel the term according to the Manir play. Returning to his trs I find good but as you notice the R3 numrique but rglage After a few you get to make it sound fatter and warmer than the R3 that I will not think and yet "surprise". It was trying to reproduce certain sounds microKORG XL with R3 but some are unique MKXL, even through exactly the same waveform oscillator and envelope and all, is meant that the MKXL a some strengths in terms of sound. Yet they both have the same engine?!. So I ask: would there be some components that would not be the same and gives the MKXL the sound that has marked the music lctronique? Or is it a synth that&#39;ll have his own signature sound and wants again this dmarquer other synth or Mystra little secret ... and darling of the firm Korg? For me I think it comes from the components, it would mean that I disassemble the R3 and MKXL to compare. But I&#39;m too careful with my hardware so I will not try the devil ^ ^. on the other hand I confess that I also have a D minimoog, and that I spend all my recording in apareils moog filter for my vintage sound. But even as we understand has the same despite the rglage Difference between R3 and MKXL because when it&#39;s MKXL I have to the SETTING THE rduire my moog filter. And the sounds that I dislike is the "SYN DRUM" in kind "ROCK / POP" and CATEGORY "SE / HIT is a totally inintressant turn away and use another machine or other kind EMX1 for rhythmic groove box drum. And in my humble opinion ^ ^.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like about it is its simplicity MKXL edition of super intuitive and direct live, this easy to direct the sound you want with this classification by genre and CATEGORY. These virtual functions patch that allows you to place 6 or effects you want a game which allows keyboard incredible, and the best for last: The vocoder and the advantage of cre its own style of unique vocoder and never heard in the lctro ^ ^. I think it&#39;s the highlight of MKXL excluding certain sound to it his own ^ ^. I think the price is correct for a do everything because when you see the synths for beginners or children of up to 400 euros and have presets that, I apologize but there is no BMOL is not it? I am so beginners CLAT tweaking knobs and play with, that every time I see the mic on my desk, I said directly: Slim&#39;s true that it is more vocoder. And it exploded the total. You will see that you exploded so much on the synth that you like me forget the microphone during the early days of discoveries. I think for the price it&#39;s a synth trs complete delight more and more people ^ ^. And we certainly hear trs lctro lot of music or other ...
